Dear Fellow GameSat Developers -
I inadvertently scheduled our first meeting during Midterms. So many could not make it.
To prevent this happening again, could someone else please be our meeting arranger? Thanks.
A) The Meeting
was pleasantly productive, where we few explored simple retro-game ideas that could expand into a more complex space opera. The three games we discussed were:
1) Asteroid Hopper - Dodging speeding rocks in an asteroid belt to get to a target asteroid.
(a combo of the retro Frogger & retro Island Hopper)
2) Asteroid Harvester - Land on and harvest an asteroid.
(from retro Lunar Lander with a D&D twist)
3) Manage a Martian Colony (Dwarf Fortress takeoff)
B) Action Items
Decide on the simplest game to implement. We will decide at our next meeting, which may be online via Google Hangouts.
Think about task selection and implementation.
Decide your preferred role in the game development crew.
C) Please watch for an http://DOODLE.com survey to find the best time(s) to meet.
D) While leaving our first meeting, Mark made an offhand request for code to move a rocket from point A to point B. Monica volunteered to help develop a specification for a library of Astronautic tools to meet Mark's request. We'll make it easy with a callable library to do the heavy lifting (no pun intended ;-) ).
For great space imagery, watch this: Wanderers, A Short Film by Erik Wernquist:
